[Tigers] Fw: Original Tiger Port of Entry and Sales Information

[D or G at sbc]

 Some original Tiger sales literature have the dealer info stamped on them, so these could ID dealers.

 With the talk about Tigers and Ports of Entry, I was wondering if anyone has ever put together a list of the Sunbeam car dealer network?
I know that some cars I've owned you could trace which dealer originally sold the car through the original paperwork. Without the original paperwork I'm not sure how you would know.
Was there ever a list of dealers?
I know in 1966-1967 my father bought a brand new Sunbeam Alpine GT. Car came with a hardtop but there was no soft top. The dealer had their own Alpine they used for racing and I can remember trying to talk my dad into buying a Sunbeam Tiger which the dealer had in stock.
The dealer was close to the military bases which was probably where most of their buyers were from.
I don't recall the name of the dealership, but I remember they were on Dyer Street in El Paso, Texas.

Does anyone know from where this 80% figure was obtained?Does anyone have additional or contradictory information/documentation on ports of entry and retail distribution?Thanks in advance.CheersB
